Landon Donovan hilariously joked he is trying to return to his ‘glory days’ of a full head of luscious locks after going viral for his bad hair day.
Donovan left viewers confused after appearing on camera during Fox’s Euro 2024 coverage with a patchy hairstyle, with fans telling him to cut his losses and shave his hair off.
His LA Galaxy old teammate, Mike Magee, then took things further by tweeting out a text exchange with Donovan who explained he’d had a hair transplant two weeks ago and was told it wouldn’t show up on camera.
The 42-year-old Donovan, who has taken the whole situation in very good humor, responded to Magee’s post saying: ‘Thanks for putting me on blast Mo’ – along with a crying-with-laughter emoji.
‘Just trying to get back to my glory days,’ he added, along with a picture of him as a youngster with flowing locks.
